This Friday's sew-in was a bit of a bust for me. I took the day off from work to get some things finished and started around the house for the upcoming holidays and sewing just didn't fit into my schedule the way I would have liked.
Only thing that I sat down to finish was finishing the hand sewing the binding on my 12 Days of Christmas table runner. It's on my table now. One more Christmas decoration on display. LOL.
I found the backing at one of the LQS here and I really like it. Red snowflakes. Coordinates will with 12 Days of Christmas. They also had it in blue but the blue was too royal blue for the top. I have plans to get more of both for my stash. Would make a cute stocking cuff, wouldn't it?
Other than that, I got some cleaning done. Our tree is up and lit but not decorated. That is on the agenda today. I got some dark chocolate almond cranberry bark made and some dark chocolate cookies baked. Oh. And some gifts wrapped. Today's plan is to make the dough for oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, continue wrapping, decorate the tree and have Amelia finish her last beaded snowflakes for her gifts. Busy busy day!
Have a good one!

Great table runner...glad you got that finished. Have fun with baking today.
ReplyDeleteI think you did pretty well, finishing a project. Your table runner is great! I didn't even participate in FNSI this time around - instead, I went to my neighbours' house and drank a bottle of wine. Oh, and I gave them the snowflake table runner I made for them. I think it was a good night ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat runner!
ReplyDeleteJen...love that! I need to get my charms out and make one, too cute.
ReplyDeleteOh I love your table runner Jen! It looks great. The backing fabric is gorgeous, and I agree, it would make a great stocking cuff! Your baked goodies sound soooo delish. The kids and I made gingerbread cookies...boy that's an all day affair! But fun..
ReplyDeleteGosh -- sounds like you're making great progress! Love that tablerunner and you're right -- perfect backing.
ReplyDeleteI took my mom shopping today and got half the lights on the tree. ran out, so the decorating will wait until tomorrow. And I still have the hand sewing on three bindings to do by the end of the week -- can I send them to you??? ;-)
Your table runner is very pretty-- I like those red snowflakes. Wow, you sound busy. Will you be off between Christmas and New Year? I am planning to take that time off but things are so busy at work I might have work a couple days.
